Most of the mentioned phones are giants. they're pretty bulky in the pocket. But if you ask me I would select the one with the android OS. That should be the OS with the nearest functionality to maemo as of the moment. Although it's really not near at all. Maybe it has 50% of the functionality of maemo.

I would get whatever is the most expensive, sell it brand-new sealed on ebay, then try and buy an N900 with the money.

The N900 is no longer available?! Gotta love those insurance companies...
+1 to the "most expensive phone, sell on Ebay, buy new N900" idea above.

Yea I'm thinking about the ebay thing too, although I've told the insurance company the phones they offered aren't good enough (and why) and that I feel the nearest functionally equivalent phone is the HTC Desire HD! All of a sudden they think they might be able to get me a N900 after all! 
So hopefully I wont need to go the ebay route!

I third the Ebay route. Hope your insurance company gets its act together.

The ebay idea is certainly the best. However, if I absolutely had to choose I would get the HTC HD2 and put Android on it.

I've looked at those phones and they all seem to fall well short in some way on the N900, however the terms of my insurance stateShould Your original Telephone no longer be available, the Insurer will replace it with the nearest functionally equivalent model.
They are open to suggestions, and I reckon they'll give me a more expensive phone, to a degree, if I moan enough.
So what does everyone think the nearest functionally equivalent phone would be? What would you get if you had to replace your N900? I really don't know enough about phones myself to even know which brands / makes etc. to start looking at
